on the NFT front, i've
- got a larger gallery
- bought more pieces
- gave some artists a few tips
- introduced more collectors to this new form of enjoyinggg
i will work on making more money to fund this hobby while also looking out for pieces that i like to add to my collection
i was gonna write out pointers to be an enjoyooor but on 2nd thought, thats rather silly- it should be very intuitive
simply just buy pieces you like
i think its optional to also admire the artist and their other works, but by doing so, that can add more depth to your enjoyment
i think its like knowing the backstory of your favorite restaurant or where their ingredients are sourced from
objectively does not change the taste of the dish when served to any patron
but the people that know would likely have deeper satisfaction and more overall enjoyment

an interesting anecdote was that around the 2017 peak, retail nobodies were syndicating themselves and pooling capital to form (illegal) pseudo-funds to gain access into the earlier rounds (with the cheaper pricing) before the public ICO round
while games can be quite educational and instructive as systems to learn about human interactions, economics, strategies (and culture) etc etc
those are mostly learnt in the initial phases of play, and "value" in terms of knowledge (and imo, enjoyment) drops off hard after that
opinion:
gaming is ofc fun and can teach you things quickly
but excessive hours into the same game probably does not bring much more benefit to your life, better to rotate out of it and into other things with better value per hour invested imo
no, i do NOT think that cold storage should be the default for most people
99% of the population is not intelligent enough to cold store properly, hence they are probably both better off in convenience and SAFETY, with their assets held in custody by select centralized entities
interestingly, the D component of the bankless BED index BTC, ETH, DeFi by coop index, has been the biggest laggard in the index, even worse than BTC
i would think a 50/50 or 33/67 BTC/ETH portfolio would outperform, which would actually be what id suggest to newbies to consider
could be a WBTC/ETH LP pool, where instead of paying fees and rebalancing, you get auto rebalanced while earning LP fees and potentially farm rewards too
(select AMM protocol + chain wisely, for it affects the farm yields, tx costs and risk taken)
